The Iris Nebula, NGC 7023 or Caldwel 4, includes an open star cluster and its associated reflection nebula, surrounded by dark absorption nebulosity. These images were taken the mornings of 2022-06-01 and 2022-06-02 from just NW of Flagstaff, Arizona. The nebula is about 3 light years in diameter and 1300 ly distant.

 

A total exposure of 225 minutes taken as 45 five minute exposure. Photographed with a with a William Optics RedCat 250/51mm telescope, Baader UV/IR cut filter, ZWO ASI 533 MC camera, SkyWatcher AZ-EQ5 mount, and ASI electronic auto focus and guide camera. All were controlled with a ZWO ASIAir Plus Controller.

Enjoy your flight delight high up the sky

Watching the world under your delight

 

The Pleiades is a target I have been wanting to do for quite a while, and it did not disappoint! The Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, is a prominent object in the night sky, located in the constellation Taurus. The cluster contains thousands of stars, of which only a handful are commonly visible to the unaided eye. Hope you all enjoy and thanks for any constructive comments.

This is a Composition of the Eclipsed Blood Moon on 5-15-22.

 

For this Composition, I combined two exposure sets, 1 set for the Lunar Surface and a second set for the surrounding starfield.

 

Lunar surface set: 7, .5-seconds, 3200-ISO, F8, 500mm exposures stacked.

Starfield set: 7, 30-seconds, 3200-ISO, F8, 500mm, exposures stacked. Blended in Photoshop.

 

Equipment used:

Lens: Vintage Nikon Reflex lens, 500mm, F8 (I'll share photos of this lens here on my Flickr page).

 

Camera: Nikon D7100, full-spectrum modified from 2013, with UV/IR cut filter.

 

The crop sensor of the Nikon D7100, allowed me to get "closer in" with a practical focal length of about 750mm thanks to the 1.5 crop factor, and the high resolution sensor of 6000x4000 again allowed for me to crop in during post possessing to the final image.

From Wikipedia: “NGC 7635, also known as the Bubble Nebula, Sharpless 162, or Caldwell 11, is an H II region emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It lies close to the direction of the open cluster Messier 52. The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star, SAO 20575. The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow.”

 

This is a 2 hour and 35 minute combined exposure and processed in PixInsight in the Hubble palette.

This image shows the AZ-GTI carrying a heavy load with a William Optics Megrez 88 telescope, a ZWO ASI 1600MM Pro astro camera, a filter wheel and an autoguider.

 

The images I take with my Skywatcher AZ-GTI mount raise many questions about how I can use this ALT/AZ mount for astrophotography.

 

I recently wrote an article about the topic that should answer most of these questions. You find it under:

I've been neglecting my poor IR camera. I grabbed it last night as a huge front moved through the area.

  

*****************************************************************************

Photographed from mid-town Toronto, Canada, at 21.29 EDT (Moon altitude: 39 degrees)

 

The Moon, just 11.5 hours before reaching its full phase, floats over Toronto in a clear dark sky on the border between the constellations Pisces (the Fishes) and Cetus (the Whale), with the temperature a balmy (for this time of year) 9 degrees C. Eight stars surround the Moon in this double exposure (technical details below).

 

This is the first photo of the Moon through a telescope that I've been able to make since August 10!

In the centre of these 3 is a valley named Vallis Alpes that is 166 kms long and around 10 km at its widest point. I have learnt so much over the last few hours reading all this info about the moon , I never thought it would have huge mountains and deep long valleys.

Due to some troubles with the filter wheel it was not possible to do a deeper picture with this rig.

It's only 28 hours (latest objects on my list are about 60 hours each) but seems enough integration to provide good details on these Ha clouds.

It's a nice object that I revisited after more than two years, with new equipment, techniques and personal tastes.... I like to see my evolution

This beautiful comet is gone now, this may be one of my best shot of it as it was in its full glory!

 

Actually it was still getting closer to Earth but slightly fading. A slight green color started to appear around the nucleus. This can be noticed on this picture.

 

Shot with Nikon D7500 and Sigma 100-400. I stacked a few pictures tracked with Skywatcher Staradventurer.

The completed pano of the MW rising above the Kolob Terrace in Zion National Park. Tremendous red airglow had diffused throughout the sky, we had clear skies while shooting the foreground and of course as soon as we started taking our tracked sky exposures some clouds immediately formed over the core of the MW. Typical luck I suppose, still the picture turned out quite nice and the clouds added a bit of drama to the scene. Happy with the Z7 and 50mm f1.8s as well as the Sky Watcher Star Adventurer Mini, my new setup for the 2019 season should be fantastic for some of the more strenuous shooting locations I have planned for this year.

 

18 exposures for this image, 9 for the sky, 9 for the foreground all taken with my Nikon Z7 and 50mm f1.8s lens on a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer mini. Foreground exposures are 2 minutes at ISO 640 and f1.8, sky exposures are 3 minutes at ISO 640 and f2.2.

This is just the stitched and edited portion of my Milky Way Nightscape shot at Redfish Lake taken in August. I enjoy looking at these with just the sky, a dark blurry silhouette of the foreground provides some context and contrast. Plus it gives people an idea of what it looks like to use a tracking mount and the outcome of doing so.

 

8 shots were used for this, each with the Nikon D800E and Sigma Art 50mm lens on the Sky Watcher Star Adventurer, all exposures are 4 minutes at ISO 800 and f2.8.

The Pacman Nebula is an emission nebula located in the constellation Cassiopeia. NGC 281 gets its name from the classic video game character it resembles.

NGC 281 is a rather diffuse emission nebula. It includes a small, yet noticeable open star cluster (IC 1590) and some really dynamic dust lanes. The prominent lane of dark dust cutting into this nebula creates the mouth.
